Gunmen in military uniforms fatally shot a governor and five civilians in the latest assault on local politicians in the Philippines, police say.

At least six men armed with assault rifles and wearing military-style camouflage and bullet-proof vests alighted from three SUVs and opened fire on Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo, hitting him and at least five other people in front of his home in Pamplona town. The province has a history of violent political rivalries.

She demanded justice and said her husband “did not deserve that kind of death. He was serving constituents on a Saturday along with his department heads.”
